6th Grade & 11th Grade Homeschool Choices
Here we go, again! It’s homeschool time! We’re going to jump right into this today. I have a 6thgrade girl and an 11th grade boy that are doing homeschool with me this year, so let’s jump into the curriculum that we have chosen for this 2024-2025 school year. Oh, and we are doing the 12:5 schedule, where we will start September 1st, school for 12 weeks, take a 5-week break, and do that block 2 more times for 36 weeks of schooling. They’ll get all of December, all of April, and all of August off.
